"The features with the Android O

Google’s Android 8.0 comes along with a whole bunch of new and exciting features, and performance improvements claim a report by Android Central. For instance, the update is going to include a feature called, “Picture-in-Picture” mode that will allow users to operate multiple windows at the same time.

For example, smartphone owners will be able to watch a video on YouTube and check their emails on Yahoo! at the same time.

The “Autofill” option has also been updated. The system will remember log-in information into each app and provide suggestions when users return.

The latest update consists of a revamped notifications dots option. Upon tapping it, users will face an array of new actions, quick replies, and fun emoticons and content that interests them. Massive mobile OS updates such as Oreo, usually carry all security enhancements and under-the-hood improvements. Similarly, this software update is going to enhance the boot speeds of Android smartphones exponentially.

The firm has incorporated a special “Google Play Protect,” option that restricts users from installing “malicious” or “suspicious” apps. The Android Oreo is roughly 900MB in size. Therefore, it will take more than a few moments to install it. Users and thus advised to keep their smartphones on charge or install the update with a hundred per cent battery. In case, the device shuts down halfway down the installing process; users stand the threat of losing all their data."

International Business Times:

"It is confirmed that HMD Global will not only release the Android 8.0 Oreo update but also Google's upcoming operating system Android P to all its devices -- Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and Nokia 8 . However, it appears like the handsets will get yet another Android Nougat update before receiving the latest firmware.

The officials from the Finnish company have recently told reporters at the launch of the Nokia 8 in Taiwan that the device would get the Android 8.0 Oreo update in October. The announcement came not long after the company said that the firmware would come to the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6 before the end of this year.

According to a report by NokiaPowerUser, the Nokia 6 has been spotted running Android 7.1.2 Nougat on GFXBench, giving a clear hint that it might get the new version of the OS before getting the recently released Android 8.0 Oreo. There is no word on the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 8 but they too might be upgraded to Android 7.1.2 Nougat before tasting Oreo.
